Wiki Lists are a way to store non-clinical data in a convenient table format. For example they can be used to store contact information or network devices. Wiki lists are stored as tables in the database, so they are both searchable and reportable.

Example of a wiki list used for storing contact information.

User's must have the Wiki List Setup security permission to add or delete columns, or to delete rows.

When you first create a list, there will be a static column on the left named "tablename" Num. This is the primary key column and cannot be moved or renamed. It can only change in width; any changes to heading will be ignored. If additional columns are added, the items in the list will be sorted alphabetically by the second column contents.
